picture the scene

user moves mouse over an image, an alt box is shown over the image displaying some helpful text. On friday the atl box showing the text is a white background with black text. Today it’s a black background with white text.

First off I didn’t think you could change this at all.  
Second, I didn’t think you could change any settings in regard to this alt box.  
Third, first thought was this was an IE setting but it’s happened on everyones machines…perhaps a network setting but this really baffles me

anybody come across this sort of thing or does anyone happen to know how to change the alt box settings :h:
